Lack of support and surrounded by pressure within the tough internal of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich confirmed that she will leave the presidency of that political force and accepted that finally will resign it in favor of Mauricio Macri.
This was confirmed by the same Minister of Security who, even, He admitted that “it is good” for the former president and his former political boss to resume office in the party that for years had him as its greatest exponent.
“In 20 days I will leave the presidency of the PRO. The future will be seen there, but it is behind schedule, we are already in the process of change”stated the official from Rosario, Santa Fe.
During an interview on Cadena 3, Bullrich acknowledged that “Macri was proposed” to take the position and considered that “it is good for him to put himself in that place. He said it with a hint of resignation: “I have too many issues in Security to talk about the PRO”He launched.
Strictly speaking, all the cards were already in place for Macri to take back the reins of that game. But by recognizing that her arm was twisted, the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) government official puts an end to an internal conflict that had her as a protagonist since her ill-fated presidential candidacy, which left Together for Change without aspirations for self-government and facing the worst electoral result in the last ten years.
The distance between her and Macri dates back to those days. The tensions were due to the scant support that the president gave to his candidacy and because the veiled support that he dedicated to Javier Milei, since he won the PASO.
The tension between the two escalated to the point of dividing practically all of the party leaders. Bullrich’s last attempt at a show of force was the letter in which he criticized the decision of the governor of ChubutIgnacio Torres, to confront Javier Milei.
That public statement he was barely able to bring together second and third line leaders. The hypothesis was always that Macri’s hand was behind Torres’ move. And Bullrich, because she was a government official and had institutional responsibility, could not tolerate it.
There was also talk of several meetings between the former president and Milei. Although just hours ago Bullrich assured that he “has no information” about a meeting of that type.
For her, “There is a clear definition, the PRO is the party that is in the change and its deputies and senators are aligned with that”.
Then, with a sigh of hope, he assured that although the Together for Change alliance still “has reflections in the joint actions of the governors,” the future “it will be organized in the forces of change, which is the PRO”.
